Pure was a classic album. He really got himself together after the 90's the 90's was not a good time for music for him. But in comes a new decade and its like 79/80 all over again. I just hope he does not let this decade be like the 90's. He's working with Trent from NIN so should be good.
On the Purified CD (the Pure Tour programme), he explains this song is about a girl in a coma. She meets these entities while her consciousness is elsewhere and they're trying to drag her and everyone she knows into their world for unknown reasons. At least that's how Gary explained this song...
Very brave of you to say you have Aspergers. You are not alone. Both of my nephews have it and after taking my teenager out with them, he commented "You tak just like them!". I was an "odd" child, and still kind of an odd adult and I've wondered...You are not weird, and you're right, it is difficult. People will have to have more education as the diagnosis go up and I hope that helps. You are who YOU are and that all right with me!
@solestars I was diagnosed with aspergers syndrome about 6 years ago.. My dreams tend to be a hell of a lot more vivid than others', perhaps, but other than that I don't see any issues with the syndrome-if anything, I pity the people who don't have it. I'm sorry, I just had to comment on this-I seriousely don't understand what would make it such a difficult thing to live with. As long as you get past the autism blocks that affect aspergers-It's a gift, not a curse. Embrace it.
Altered states of mind is something people have been experimenting with for their entire existence. Genetics/evolution is accomplishing so much more through a series of leaps like autism and aspergers. -Then again, this is all just my POV. Feel free to throw yourself into a rages and kill your keyboard in the name of getting back at my insolent post, for anyone who disagrees that strongly :) ((HAD TO SEPARATE POST INTO 2))
@Nekhranokth same here it can be gotten around it is often a matter of being aware when you are boring someone and if it gets too much at a social do, just politely leave. I alienated a lot of people until I learnt to go about it a different way. It is not a curse. It is great to notice detail.
Talk about creepy ... I'm pretty much convinced that there's something on the "other side", and 'they' might just be more than a figment of his imagination.
Theres a song on EVE online that sounds exactly like a darkwave version of this song...you can even sing along with it....fuckers need to stop copying numan! lol

@JarrodCook93 He has indeed, Jarrod. See one of my other uploads, Purified - Gary Numan - Part 1 of 8, for Numan's own explanation.
